  • Publication number: 20160263233
    Abstract: Methods for treating a subject in need thereof are provided which include administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a protein transduction reagent-modified reprogramming protein to the subject, wherein the protein transduction reagent is non-covalently bound to the reprogramming protein and wherein the protein transduction reagent comprises a cation reagent and a lipid. According to aspects, such methods provide delivery of protein-transduction reagent-modified reprogramming proteins to cancer cells, such as tumor cells, as well as diseased cells of diseased tissues and provide in vivo conversion of diseased cells into normal cells via protein-induced in situ cell reprogramming without administration of nucleic acids to the subject.

  • Patent number: 9149509
    Abstract: Thymosin ?4 can be used to treat neuronal and brain injuries that are accompanied by neuronal cell death or injury, including injuries caused by stroke or trauma and injuries caused by neurological and neurodegenerative disease. In particular, stroke and multiple sclerosis are examples of conditions which may be ameliorated by treatment with thymosin ?4. Thymosin ?4 has been found to restore neurological tissue through several effects on several neurological parameters which are improved by administration of thymosin ?4 to a subject in need of neurological tissue restoration. For example, thymosin ?4 improves axonal myelination, migration of neural progenitor cells, neural progenitor cell proliferation, differentiation of neural progenitor cells into mature neurons, differentiation of neural progenitor cells into mature glia, nerve regeneration, and brain remodeling at locations of brain injury.
